Tom's Journey

天开始黑的早了，下班的时候街上早已经是华灯高照了； 各大报纸又在报道布什总统在白宫宽容赦免一只火鸡； 第二天，照例是成百万只火鸡进了美国人的肚子； 在第二天，照例是很多人凌晨就到各大商店排队，等着抢购便宜货； 街上照例是开始出现了救世军募款的场景； 各大办公楼照例是放上了圣诞节的装饰；

是啊，照例感恩节又到了……

BTW, this is an excerpt from White House's
Nov. 29th
Press Briefing by Scott McClellan
The James S. Brady Press Briefing Room"

Q I have a personal comment first, before my question. It was a great message, Thanksgiving message from the President. Also, pardoning one turkey in the White House. But I hope next year thanking the, whatever, God, or (inaudible) or the turkey, I hope that next year he will pardon all the turkeys for one day, at least nobody will eat turkey.

My question is that President Musharraf is again coming to Washington --

MR. McCLELLAN: It was a stand-in, so he really pardoned two. (Laughter.)

Q But I hope next year all will be pardoned for a day.

Q But he did eat turkey, right?

MR. McCLELLAN: What's your question?
